i'm planning to do a clean install when I get the 10.2 update CD. i was wondering how to back up the address book: do i backup the Addresses folder in my library or backup the entire program?
also, whats the best way of backing up my omniweb and ie bookmarks? Thanks.

Well, I know that with bookmarks for IE...search for "favorites.html" and save that. When you re-install IE overwrite the "favorites.html" file in the same location.
Another word of advice: copy and save your plugins folder from IE too!
As for your address book (which email client do you use?) I'm pretty sure that with OE for the Mac you can export/import that into the new copy. I think it has the option in importing to point to a file on a back up disc.
If it's Apple's Mail application then you'll get better advice on that soon..
<strong>i use Address Book, as in the apple one that came with my computer.</strong><hr></blockquote>
Ah, I found the Unofficial Mail for Mac OS X FAQ page...
